With your hosts Matt, Nathan, and Jared, The Entry Level Left podcast is an effort to bring critical thought back to history, politics, and culture through approachable discussion and science-based reasoning. With each episode building on prior concepts, our goal is to help people understand the failings of hyper-consumptive, class-based-society so that they can reclaim their own power in their communities and especially their workplaces. On a planet hurtling toward climate disaster, we must work together to co-create a habitable, bright future for all. Welcome to The Entry Level Left!
